Hi - I noticed that a file put on disk is reflected inside a
project folder automatically, but a .pdf put on disk is not
recognized inside project folder (it basically does not show at
all). Is this expected, and can we change this behavior?
Yes, this is the expected behavior.
If you go to the trouble of adding a (non-text) file directly to
a project, BBEdit presumes you have some specific reason for
doing so, whereas by default BBEdit will display only editable
(text) files within folders.
You can however tell BBEdit to display all files within a
project's file list (rather than only text files), by clicking
on the magnifying glass at the bottom of the list, and
selecting "Everything" under "Show" in the resulting popup..
Alternatively, you can make BBEdit recognize files of any
specific type ("*.foo") as text by adding a suitable suffix
mapping (e.g. "foo" to "Text File") in the Languages prefs panel.
[*Note* I strongly recommend you only add such a mapping if the
unknown file actually contains editable text, e.g. please do
_not_ use this option on PDFs, images, or other binary data.]
Also, is there a cleaner way to import external non-text files
into a project folder?
Since I'm not sure what "clean" implies here, may I ask what
you're trying to accomplish?
[PS: A great deal of this info is also available within the
included PDF manual, which is available at any time via Help ->
User Manual. :-) ]
